Description

When “Caesar’s Palace” was really Caesar’s palace!

Bronze fibula, a small clasp used as a clothing fastener, approximately 2.25 long, first century A.D. This specimen, of the leg or knee type, bears an attractive green-brown patina and retains its original pin (now “fused” to the main body). The consignor notes that this example was excavated on the Isle of Wight in 1937. In fine condition, with expected light wear from nearly two millennia in the ground. R&R COA.
